In this episode of Positive Philter, I sit down with my fraternity brother, Frank Bonner, for a candid discussion on the topic of reclamation within Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. We explore the reasons why some brothers struggle with sustained engagement and the barriers to bringing them back into active participation. While our conversation centers on Alpha, these issues are relevant to many service-based organizations working to re-engage and retain members. Through personal experiences and reflections, we examine how organizations can better support long-term involvement and active membership. This is an open and honest conversation that reflects our personal perspectives and in no way represents the official views of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc.

In this episode, host Pete Moore sits down with Mary Laudati, a seasoned sales and marketing leader with deep roots in the HALO (Health, Active Lifestyle, Outdoor) space. From her days leading the sales group at Sports Club LA to her current role as a consultant working with top clubs across the U.S. and internationally, Mary shares her insights on building effective sales strategies, leveraging cutting-edge software like Salesforce, and creating a powerful culture of member engagement and retention. She provides boots-on-the-ground, immediately actionable tips on using data, recording sales calls, and mystery shopping to pinpoint where clubs are leaving revenue on the table—plus, the importance of strong onboarding and personal connections to keep members coming back. Mary also discusses the latest trends in CRM technology, club operations, and the shift toward shared memberships and referral models. Whether you're a club owner, sales team leader, or just passionate about the business of the HALO space, Mary's advice on finding—and keeping—members is pure gold. On early member retention, she states, "Those three months are crucial . . . for those clubs that don't have salespeople, not only do you want to embrace the incoming (they've got to follow up and make a lot of phone calls), but they also have to check on the new members and look at their attendance to make sure that they're coming in." Key themes discussed Importance of sales strategies and processes in health clubs. Customizable CRM/software solutions for sales and retention. The critical role of training and investing in your employees. KPIs, net growth, revenue, and retention. Mystery shopping and call recording for sales team improvement. Enhancing member engagement, onboarding, and relationship-building. Shared membership/referral programs to boost membership and loyalty. A few key takeaways:  1. Sales Process Needs Structure and Ongoing Evaluation: Mary emphasized that many clubs claim to have a strong sales team, but more often than not lack strategies, scripts, or KPIs. She underlined the importance of having sequential, process-driven systems and regular evaluation—often through recording, analyzing calls, and “mystery shopping” the current experience. 2. CRMs and Custom Software Are Game-Changers: A major part of the episode centers around the critical need for effective, customizable CRMs. Mary championed Salesforce for its adaptability, noting her experience implementing it at Millennium Partners. She highlighted recent successes helping clubs (like Powerhouse Gyms in Novi, MI) leverage technology to understand their numbers, coach their teams, and boost revenue. 3. Training and Investment in People Drives Revenue: Laudati strongly advocates investing in employee training alongside technology. She's seen clients who paired software adoption with robust training, and realized up to 25% growth year-over-year. She's a believer in hands-on onboarding, coaching, and ensuring team members are held accountable—not just to sales, but to ongoing member engagement. 4. Retention is as Critical as Acquisition: Both Mary and Pete stressed the importance of looking beyond just new member acquisition to also address attrition. Laudati recommends clubs track net growth (sales minus cancels), invest in the early months of a member's journey, proactively reach out to disengaged members, and create meaningful connections (a la “Cheers,” where everyone knows your name!) 5. Shared Memberships and Ongoing Engagement are Winning Strategies: Highlighting clients like Bay Clubs, Laudati also talked about the explosion of shared or referral-based memberships and how they can create instant community and value. She noted the value of actively integrating new members into programs or group activities (think personal training, group ex, or even pickleball) during the crucial first three months to help maximize retention.

Yeni müşteri kazanmak mı, yoksa mevcut müşteriyi elde tutmak mı daha değerli?Bugünkü bölümümüzde dijital pazarlama dünyasında sıkça gözden kaçan ama aslında en yüksek yatırım geri dönüşünü (ROI) sağlayan bir stratejiyi masaya yatırıyoruz: Retention Marketing, yani müşteri tutundurma stratejileri. Reklam bütçenizin büyük bir kısmını yeni müşteri çekmeye harcıyorsanız, belki de en büyük kazanç fırsatınızı göz ardı ediyor olabilirsiniz.Retention neden bu kadar kritik?Yeni bir müşteri kazanmanın maliyeti, mevcut müşteriyi elde tutmaktan ortalama 5 ila 25 kat daha fazladır. Buna rağmen pek çok marka, sadık müşterilerine ikinci, üçüncü hatta dördüncü alışverişi yaptıracak sistemleri kurmakta geç kalıyor. Oysa küçük bir e-posta otomasyonu, bir kişisel kampanya önerisi ya da satış sonrası destek, müşteri memnuniyetini zirveye çıkarabilir.Sadık müşteri, en büyük reklamcınız olabilirBugün konuşacağımız stratejiler sadece tekrar satış oranlarını artırmakla kalmaz, aynı zamanda markanızın çevresinde bir topluluk oluşturur. Sadık müşteriler size sadece tekrar satış getirmez, aynı zamanda sizi arkadaş çevrelerine tavsiye eder, sosyal medyada markanızı savunur ve kriz anlarında bile sizi terk etmezler.Pazarlama stratejinizi tersine çevirinBu bölümde yeni müşteri kazanımına değil, elinizdekini elde tutmaya odaklanacağız. Özellikle dijital platformlar, CRM sistemleri, e-posta ve WhatsApp otomasyonları, sadakat kampanyaları gibi taktiklerle müşteriyi nasıl markaya bağlı kılabileceğinizi örneklerle açıklıyorum.İşletmeniz için örnek senaryolarBir doğal taş mağazası için hazırladığımız müşteri segmentasyon sisteminin 3 ayda nasıl %37 daha fazla sipariş getirdiğiniShopify'da kurulan bir sadakat programının geri dönüşüm oranlarını nasıl 2 katına çıkardığınıKommo CRM'de otomatikleştirilen satış sonrası destek süreçlerinin müşteri puanlamalarını nasıl yükselttiğiniVe en önemlisi, bu adımları nasıl siz de kurabilirsiniz… hepsini detaylıca anlattım.Kullanacağımız stratejiler arasında neler var?Kişiselleştirme ve segmentasyonun gücüOtomatik e-posta serileri ve hatırlatma sistemleriSatış sonrası müşteri desteğiSadakat ve ödül programlarıMüşteri yaşam boyu değeri (CLV) analizleriChurn rate'i düşürmenin yollarıKendi retention sistemini kurmak isteyenler için rehberBu bölümde teoriden çok pratiğe odaklanıyorum. Anlattığım yöntemleri Kommo CRM, HubSpot, Shopify veya diğer platformlarda birebir uygulayabilir, hemen sonuç almaya başlayabilirsiniz. Ayrıca kendi stratejisini kurmak isteyenlere özel ipuçları da bölümün sonunda yer alıyor.Sonuç: Sürdürülebilirlik yeni müşteride değil, mevcutta saklıKısa vadeli kazançlar için müşteri çekmek elbette önemli. Ancak gerçek büyüme, sadık müşteri ile gelir yaratmakta. Bu podcast bölümü, uzun vadeli marka inşası ve kârlılık için size sağlam bir yol haritası sunacak.En güncel bölüm ve paylaşımlar için podcastimi Spotify ve YouTube'da takip etmeyi unutmayın.

What if your next phase of growth didn't mean chasing more leads but simply looking after the ones you already have? In today's competitive and ever-changing rental market, focusing on growth alone isn't sustainable. If you're signing up 30 new properties but losing 35, you're not growing, you're exhausting your team, making everyone work harder for the same result, and still feeling like you're getting nowhere. Retention is the smarter strategy. It helps you get more value from the relationships you've already built. It's more cost effective, more impactful, and it leads to stronger business results. Best of all? You don't need a huge budget to make it work just intention, connection, and consistency. In this episode we chat with returning guest and long time industry leader Ashleigh Goodchild. Ashleigh is the Director of SOCO Realty, leading a team that manages over 1200 properties in Perth, and brings 25+ years of experience in real estate. She's also the founder of PM Collective, co-creator of Australia's first online course for interstate investors, and Director of Property Profiling Australia. Passionate about impact, she supports DV families through Orana House and sits on the board of Find Your Feet Foundation, helping renters in need. "I just want to be clear, focusing on retention won't bring in the same numbers as a full-time BDM who's out there signing new properties every day. It's not about that kind of rapid growth. But what it does give you is a solid foundation. And without that, chasing new growth is like building on sand." - Ashleigh GoodchildWe explore:Why most real estate businesses focus on new managements and ignore their retention problemHow Ashley tracks retention now and what the numbers revealed about client losses she didn't even realise were happeningThe real cost of growth and why retention is often more profitable than acquisitionHow communication and investor check ins turn landlords into long term clientsWhy client relationships not transactions create real stability for your teamHow retention impacts staff burnout, onboarding load, and overall business healthCreative ideas to track, improve, and systemise retention even if you're a small agencyKylie's Resources:Property Management Growth School: https://courses.thatpropertymum.com.au/TPM-BDMSchool Digital Marketing School: https://courses.thatpropertymum.com.au/digitalschool That Property Mum Courses: https://www.thatpropertymum.com.au/courses/ The PM Accelerate Membership: https://courses.thatpropertymum.com.au/accelerate Book a Strategy Call with Kylie: https://calendly.com/kylie-tpm/coaching-call Kolmeo: https://kolmeo.com/ Sensor Global: https://sensorinsure.com/ https://sensorglobal.com/ HD&U Sales Bundle:

Send us a textFundraising is at a crossroads. Donor trust is eroding, retention rates are plummeting, and yet, charities continue to rely on the same high-volume, bottom-of-the-funnel tactics—more asks, more urgency, more chasing. But what if the solution isn't asking more, but becoming something donors want to say yes to?On today's episode, we listen in to a recorded session from the Build Good Summit where we explored why trust is the most valuable (and perhaps only) asset fundraisers have left. We'll introduce the fundraising flywheel, a model designed to build momentum by prioritizing donor autonomy, competence, and connection. Unlike the funnel, which treats giving as a linear transaction, the flywheel fosters long-term engagement and sustainable growth.Through case studies and practical examples, you'll learn how to move beyond relentless solicitation and toward a trust-based approach that treats donors like an important part of the team, with a meaningful role to play. Because fundraising isn't about forcing generosity—it's about earning it.—⛰️ Don't miss out on the next BuildGood Summit!

Episode Overview In this episode, John Kitchens, Jay Kinder, and Albie Stasek dive into the shifting dynamics of today's real estate landscape—from team growth and agent migration to California's wildfire devastation and Zillow's evolving influence. With no guest this week, the conversation gets real as the guys dissect the core trends impacting the industry right now. They explore how pain, opportunity, and leadership are reshaping the way agents and teams make decisions. Plus, they tackle a major emerging trend: team mergers and mega team expansion. Is this the next wave or a cultural clash waiting to happen? This is a must-listen for team leaders, broker-owners, and agents looking to future-proof their business in 2025 and beyond. Key Topics Covered The Real State of Agent Movement Why top-producing agents and influential teams are migrating to eXp. What's really motivating these moves: pain, opportunity, or timing? How the last two years of slowdown created a demand for more consistent systems. Team Mergers and the Rise of Mega Teams Why teams are starting to merge—and whether this is smart growth or a culture crisis. Real-life lessons from failed mergers and what leaders need to know before joining forces. The importance of Patrick Lencioni's The Motive and choosing outcome over ego. Zillow Flex and the New Real Estate Game How top operators like Kyle Whissel are dominating markets through Flex. Why Flex is like the new REO playbook: low-margin leads, high-lifetime value. What most teams miss when they chase short-term profits over long-term positioning. The California Wildfire Crisis A firsthand breakdown of how fires are reshaping real estate on the West Coast. Long-term implications for inventory, insurance, and population migration. Why rents and premiums are about to spike—and who might be heading to Texas or Florida. Leadership Voids and the Agent Exodus Why agents are leaving legacy brands and mom-and-pop brokerages in droves. The silent killer: lack of leadership, vision, and meaningful direction. How today's best leaders are creating followership by removing ego and casting vision. Motivation, Vision & What Really Drives Production The truth about why agents plateau: financial comfort and a weak “why.” What Elon Musk's obsession teaches us about drive, discipline, and mission. Why the pack moves at the pace of the leader—and how to lead by example. Resources Mentioned The Motive by Patrick Lencioni – Must-read before attempting a team merger Elon Musk Biography – Referenced for insights on obsession and vision Zillow Flex Model – Discussed as the modern equivalent of REO strategy Verne Harnish's Top Book Lists – Recommends reading Elon multiple times CHSA/CHBA Systems – Mentioned as essential frameworks for consistent deals HoneyBadgerNation.com – Access to leadership tools, agent training, and systems EXP Nasdaq Event – Company news update (happening July 21st) Final Takeaway Leadership matters now more than ever. Whether you're merging a team, leading through market uncertainty, or just trying to find your edge—clarity, culture, and consistency will define your success. If you're ready to lead at a higher level, create a scalable business, and stop grinding without a strategy, now's the time to plug into proven systems and surround yourself with leaders who've been there.   “When the gate of the mind is open, the better way is clear.” – Jay Kinder Connect with Us: Instagram: @johnkitchenscoach LinkedIn: @johnkitchenscoach Facebook: @johnkitchenscoach   If you enjoyed this episode, be sure to subscribe and leave a review.

Now, they're on a mission to reach1 million shareholders while tackling a $1 trillion market opportunity.Turning Around Investor Page TroublesEven though his company's landing page was doing well, he saw that his investor page was struggling to retain prospects. Dan provides the steps he and his team took to make the changes.Knowing that he doesn't really know what's going on in a prospect's world when they're looking at the page, he decided it would be best to send reminders to entice their return. He also found that offering an incentive for returning entices prospects even more.Dan achieved a 600% return by applying this method to his marketing efforts. He spent $ 15,000 to start the efforts, and in a short period, he ended up with a $ 750,000 return.The Most Important ComponentsWhile conducting the marketing research, he discovered that certain components were most effective in achieving his goals.One was targeting the older demographics aged 55 and above. He found that boomers were more receptive than the younger generation. He also found that it is important to put a name to the face within the email. The last component Dan shares is how truly important copywriting is, even in this AI-driven world we live in today. “People don't invest enough in copywriting. The message has to hit just right. You don't want to just have AI write generate copy.” - Dan Novaes. ResourcesWant to learn more about Dan?
